Today I went on duty guarding Planet Houston from unwanted ships. Faith has it that I met an old friend, Tharog Frosthearth, guarding the border. He was the one who saved me during the dangerous raid in Hamburg. I couldn't forget his bravery. Thanks to him, I evaded capture from the enemy.
From a fighter pilot to a Gunboat Captain, he became the Associate Director of a certain branch of the LSF called Liberty Customs and Border Security Force. Although I've never heard this branch until, he states that their main objective is to guard the Borders.
During this time, Houston Command hailed that I was to file a few papers, mainly about my new Liberty Assault Battlecruiser. I was about to finish until Houston control reported, "[font=Georgia][color=#FFFF66] Red Alert! Red Alert! This is not a drill, scanners have detected a Rheinland Battleship inside the system. All Liberty Navy ships please respond."
I quickly headed for the [color=#3333FF]Douglas and assured my crew that we'll get through this alive. The [color=#3333FF]Douglas guns were changed due to the fact that we were dealing with a Battleship. She was equipped with Dual Light Mortars, and a Battleship Mortar.
Once in orbit, we quickly spotted the Battleship near Planet Houston. It was Jarek.RM I don't know if he fired on the planet- I hope he didn't. A certain [LN]Matt.Smith came to respond to the situation, he was in a fighter. Luckily he was stupid enough to get in range of the Mississippi, she let loose all her guns to heavily damaged the big ship. Along with that, he was also targeted by the Douglas' Light Mortars and Mortar.
It was too bad that the Recruit was caught in the crossfire. He was shot by Jarek.RM. I tractored in his escape pod and told a nearby police officer to take him to the Mississippi for injuries. Tharog provided him with a distraction while I fired the heavy artillery. It took awhile to bring his hull to 50%. Suddenly Tharog's Gunboat came too close to the Battleship and was destroyed. He was still alive thou as he immediately took to the escape pods.
The Battleship and I were now mano-e-mano. I tried my best to destroy his ship but his guns kept me a distance of 3k from him. The Cerberus turrets he packed were weighing down my shields. I had to evade him. Luckily 2 ships responded to my call, Agent.Mark (//Err forgive if I this is wrong) in a bomber and LNS-Maryland. The Maryland was a dreadnought- Thanked God for the assistance.
The tables were turned and we had the numerical advantage and firepower. Under the hail of Primaries ,SNACs and Mortars; Jarek.RM became a smoldering wreck of hull. We tractored several survivors of the crew.
Sadly in my haste to combat the Battleship, my technician forgot to install the new gun camera on the ship.
Is the captain of this ship brave or stupid? Such a waste of human lives.
